hi all i went to johns to day for a visit on leaving he gave me a peace of marble that had cum from a fire place so that was my project for today when i got home i marked off the broken edges to be cut off then i cut notches in the ends to stop the corners braking off i furst tried to cut the marble with a diamond blade in me angel grinder it was not having any of it i had to put a stone cutting disc in that did the job driest dawn the edges the top is all dun next thing is to make a frame for it to sit in right pics

That did not take long
My diamond disc would not touch it eather
That came from a 80 year old fire place
Mind it was underground for millions of years before that
So it should be fairly stable

I often find myself going through offcuts at the local kitchen granite benchtop supplier, these make great work benches, they aren't as flat as granite surface plates but you know what they're pretty good and if you're doing smaller "hobby sized" parts they are quite flat enough for basic marking out.
Best regards
Rick
